There is no question that one-way streets would make the synchronization much easier, because it eliminates left turns across traffic. Also, if lights were triggered by traffic leaving the previous light, rather than by cars arriving at the current light, this would minimize the plague of lights which turn red as you approach them.

At one time, when entering Poughkeepsie N.Y. (from the west) coming off the Mid Hudson Bridge, you had to struggle thru inter city traffic the entire way to get thru town to continue east bound on US 44. Finally, they made an eastbound and westbound arterial thoroughfare (two separate one way roads - one east bound and one west bound) to alleviate the problem. The lights are synchronized and often you can pass thru the entire city without hitting a light. And who would really want to spend any time in Poughkeepsie anyway??? It works great!
